Several veterans of the stock car driving fraternity began to demonstrate their authority during the Saturday night rac- ing program at Pinecrest Speed- way. Highway 7, last weekend. Clarkson veteran Jim Hallao| han. champion in 1965, came on with a rush to win the 20-lap feature and climb on top of the O‘Keete points standing. He also won the semi-final event and placed second in the third heat and trophy dash to fall short of a clean sweep by only two points. 12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Thur Hallahan Leadsln Pinecrest Points John Clapham of Willowdalei is threatening Hallahan's points lead. however. He has 51. one behind his adversary. The Wil- lowdale driver was runner-up in the feature and Hen Silver of Toronto finished third. Silver led during the first 16 laps. but suddenly fell back and Hallahan took over the lead to win handily. Bob West and Ray Shier of Richmond Hill duelled side by side for a photo finish in the first consolation race and Silver was only a foot in front of Hal- lahan in the exciting windu‘p. George Rueffer of Port Credit. another veteran, who did not have a car available opening night, joined the 10 leaders Saturday. Defending champion Ross Howes of Scarboro continued :10 run into bad luck. His timing gear went out of kilter in a practice run and he had to bor- row a friend's car to complete. Howes, picked up three points. EA {£5 PINECREST WSAZ'.8,’7%%;” [ATE MflflfL STOCK CAR Aumluo flaunts»: so.‘ y."- /z m. SPE EDWAY N°- 7 WW lMllc’EJf HWY. 400 VIVA. Great thhgscomeinsmallmkages.

Competing for the local club will be last year’s singles champion Keran Lennon. Others will include Dennis Stalner. organizer of the event. and Frank Robin- son. President of the local club is Bob McKee. The club also competes in league play with Aurora. Barrie. Newmarket, and Thornhill. The league plans four major tournaments for 1967 -â€"â€" including the above men- tioned one â€"â€" with a men’s doubles. women's singles and mixed doubles tourna- ments in July. August and September. Richmond Hill won the league championship last season. and new full coil suspension give Viva flatter, road-hugging handling. Power‘s been boosted over 122’“. And for extra driving case, there‘s Viva‘s smooth new 3-speed, fully automatic transmission. See your authorized Vauxhall-Pontiuc dealer (Continued from Page 11) And guess who will be on third base? That’s right. Skip DeGeer. The Skipper has played the past two or three seasons with Tom Hughes and in 1966 finished second in batting (with .435) in the Beaches League â€" just behind Petten- uzzo. Skip. as usual, should add a liberal amount of pepper to the infield not to mention quite a few base hits. An indication of the strength of the Cripps’ team is the fact that young Les. Downing will be spotted at various positions. But you can be sure he’ll be in the lineup if only because of his big bat which saw him lead the league last year in home- runs. He’s a real comer. Nebber Gayman is another well known local pro- duct who will be returning to his spot in centrefield for sure. ‘Neb led the Fairbanks loop in hitting last season and looks like a good bet for similar honors this season. Another Aurora player of last season -â€" Charlie Leeming â€"-â€" will be handling outfield duties as well as infield, and is reputed to be a Iongball hitter. Brian Knowles. also of Aurora, is another outfield candidate. . Also returning will be such Casey-stalwarts as Red Wilson. Stan Thorninqton, Bucky Buchanan and Gary Smith. General Manager of the team will again be Angus Philip with Arthur Smoke handling the public relations. MAD FISHERMEN And to add a 24th of May holiday reminiscence to the column in tune with softball and Dynes. Re- ports have it that the two “Mad Fishermen” of the team â€"â€" Mr. Gayman and Mr. Selvage, journeyed up to Temagami the past weekend and came home with 10 trout and a pike. Phew.

Mr. Smoke said that members of the Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association are assisting in the promotion and sale of ad- mission tickets to the weeklong tournament which will be held in the town park from June 10 to 18. “One dollar," Mr. Smoke said, “entitles the holder to free admission to the town park for any or all games played during the week. Single game admis- sion will be 25 cents at the gate. “Minor ball”, he added, “will benefit to the tune of 60 percent of any net profit realized from this tournament.” Mr. Smoke said that the minor ball association and Pres- ident Ed Banks had also “been more than generous in a pro- fessional capacity. “Mr. Banks and his executive have ‘lent' to the tournament committee," he said, “their treasurer Larry Wales to act in a like manner until the com- pletion of the tournament."
